AliExpress is pretty decent if you don't mind waiting for your order, sometimes in the vicinity of 20-49 days. Rush shipping to ~1week (via DHL) cost me ~$12 for my Xiaomi phone. Unfortunately their payment processor is Russian and you can't use it in the States -- although I heard rumblings a while back now that PayPal had cut some kind of deal with AliBaba, I haven't seen anything come of it yet.
What for? Why would you expect Apps from the "Play Store" to work, if you aren't going to use the support services those apps need. That makes zero sense. In that case use the Xiaomi store, or the Samsung Store. Or just continue to be paranoid and have a crippled device.
Not really. You can get root on almost all Android devices, and most manufacturers allow for unlocking the bootloader as well. I've got root on a Xiaomi phone, though I've been having some problems with the bootloader due to this model's quirks compared to their others. I know it's possible. It looks like I need to load the Chinese Dev rom first - and I haven't had time to backup, wipe, reload *again*.
Android is the most open Operating System, except for maybe Linux - and with the push to force SystemD down everyone's throat,I'd say Android is more open than Linux. It's not that difficult to replace android components - almost all of the major device manufacturers do: Samsung, Xiaomi, etc.
They aren't exclusive. I had to get a VPN: to stream episodes of the Fifth Estate - to follow the Harper shenanigans. and get Canadian coverage of the Olympics.
I doubt any "extension" in Chrome can actually prevent another Addon's internal url requests. You would want|need to:
1. unpack the offending addon
2. rip that crap out
3. repack, and
4. load an extension from disk
In my experience, the Chrome Store (for Chrome) is chock-full of abandoned extensions - that haven't been updated in 3+ years. So not really even any additional work to repeatedly update|merge your changes.
uMatrix + uBlock covers everything you need, if you are willing to either:
1) Subscribe to the Block-Lists, or
2) Troubleshoot site compatibility manually.
On a site where you need to use both, you allow uMatrix to pass-through what you want fine-grained-control over (e.g. specific scripts, or inline-scripts).
Then either:
1) Allow all of the scripts in uBlock, and selectively block some.
2) Block all of the scripts in uBlock, and selectively allow some.
XiaoMi Redmi 3 Pro 32GB ROM 4G:: $154.59
3GB RAM, microSD, and a 4100mAH battery: 2+ days of usage. Android 5. Android 6 is available on other models, though I haven't checked if they have a micro-SD slot like the Redmi 3 does.
I flashed mine from AliExpress with another ROM that has root, but I would recommend a different seller, it had a compromised file, "com.android.comp.download.mgrv11" which showed ads everytime the phone was unlocked. Even withhout flashing, it was easy enough to disable that.mgrv component.
Except almost every time you purchase a micro-sd card, they come with at least 2 adapters, so the micro-sd can fit into both of those form-factors - although I've never actually seen a device that takes the "medium" form-factor. When I use SD cards in my laptop, they are invariably micro-sd in an SD housing - as microSD can work across all of my devices: MP3 Players (Sandisk, FiiO, Samsung Galaxy Player), Phone, Laptop, Nook.
In America, every plastic bag wrapper still warns us to not let toddlers play with them...yet not a single non-fine-print warning for ANY cleaning agents nor acids?
Thanks for nothing.
This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once (badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix
get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug").
In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better). The s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9. Earlier kernels will have to look at the page state itself.
Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely
theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger.
To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes, we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.
So there was an attempt to fix the race condition over a decade ago, but it got undone.
Bullshit. I've spent at least as much time trying to "upgrade" 4 Macs, (MacBook Pro's, MacBook, and iMac) from Snow Leopard, get RAM to actually work, and "attempt" to make the OS (it never would) send the right keycodes for Home/End/PgUp/Dn for a Logitech Mac keyboard, than everything I've had to do for all of my Windows and Linux Laptops and Desktops -- including multiple desktops built and repaired for family.
Support from the Mac "Geniuses" is a freaking joke. The wife was told, "well if you had Apple Care (~$500), you would save $50 on the ($500) motherboard replacement. Yeah. NO. We got a USB Audio adapter for $25.
We have both in our household. I've bought two laptops ($450 HP, used for ~4 years; $750 lenovo), replaced my desktop monitor ($200), upgraded the desktop CPU ($150), upgraded the desktop GPU ($150), replaced the desktop motherboard ($100), added more harddrives ($225)...Totalling $2025.
Yep still cost less than the wife's 2007-2008 macBook Pro ~$2300.
Within 2 years, the MacPro's headphone line went out. According to Apple, fixing that requires... wait for it... a new motherboard: $500. Anectdotal of course, but three different members of the family have taken Macs in for inspection|repair, and every damned time are told "motherboard" $500+ to fix. In one case all that was *actually* required was a new power supply.
When the real-name policy was in effect, you needed to put a name on the account in order to use Hangouts. It took a bit of finaggling, but it finally accepted: Crash N. Burn.
Although apps wanting ALL information is egregious. Hell even OperaMax (data utilization|optimization tool) wants "location, and contacts" in it's most recent update. I'm skipping that update until I root my phone and start feeding bogus crap to such apps.
Maybe you want the ErgoDox - fully programmable keyboard (open source) with multiple "layers". Although for $240 the the non-cherry switches were too fragile, and super-cheap key-caps that cost $35 feels like a major rip-off in what should be a premium keyboard from end to end.

We all know its running on top of SELinux. Which doesn't affect my "claim" at all.

CBC already GEO-blocks their website video streams, although a canadian-based VPN worked the last time I tried.

It's also convenient to use SD+ Card Readers to quickly move information between laptops. cf. Transcend USB 3.0 SDHC / SDXC / microSDHC / SDXC Card Reader, TS-RDF5K (Black)
The SD-Slot is most useful for additional permanent on-device storage.

Oh come on now. You expect documentation with anything Open Source? Good Luck with that.
Fortunately there is probably a man page that will list every single possible flag under the sun... but not a single example of common usage.

Oops. 200M cube, So OP off by a factor of 8... In the ballpark.
L: 278 Phones x 69.8mm == 19404.4mm
W: 142 Phones x136.6mm == 19397.2mm
H: 2533 Phones x 7.9mm == 20010.7mm
AND:
278x142x2533 == 99,992,708
278x142x2534 == 100,032,184
So install Win 10, and run Linux without the hyper-v VM overhead. Or just install Linux?
It has a headphone jack and Quick Charge obviates the need for a user replaceable battery (mostly) - Get 7hrs of battery from a 15 min charge.
